    Because the applicant was resident in the Mainland and failed to adduce credible evidence of impecuniosity or a high probability of success, and because the Inheritance Ordinance claim would not be covered by the Mainland–HKSAR Reciprocal Arrangement making enforcement of costs in the Mainland problematic, it was just to order security for costs; the court fixed security at HK$200,000 and stayed further proceedings until payment.

    The prior delay for the son's education had been effectively honored and the son had ceased full‑time tertiary study and repeatedly failed to obtain medical admission; the wife's housing and financial needs could be met from her substantial share of sale proceeds and by available maintenance provisions; therefore it was just and appropriate to order sale with conditions. The court exercised its power under Cap.192 s.6A to make a further order requiring vacant possession within six months and sale at market price not below HKD5,300,000 with proceeds distributed under the 2008 consent order.
